projects

for having nothing to do, i am sure busy!  and that's great...last week kerry and austin flew in for a surprise visit!  they had fall break and their camping trip was canceled...so, they came home instead...we went to disneyland, saw some movies, went out a lot...shopped...they went to the beach...just relaxed...it was wonderful to have them here..last week the weather pretended to be fall for a couple of days...it got me in the mood to bake..yesterday i had the missionaries for dinner, so i made a carrot cake, peggy's delicious banana bread with chocolate chips and coconut..yum!..in between the baking and making dinner, my friend lissa showed me how to make these little baby beanies...they are so easy and quick...i'm having a struggle to crochet...so she showed me the loom version....she makes a bunch of them and donates them to the hospital for newborns...i think that's a great idea and think i will do that also...so, a new project!!!  always looking for something to do!!
